  Did you verify if the Internet connection Services is running?

  Are you normally connect to internet even when the network sharing fails?
  
• 
  Do have any System Restore point set in Windows prior to the issue?
  

We also need which of the following cases of network sharing applies to your case:

Here's how:

• Press the Windows + I keys from the keyboard to launch Settings.
  
• Go to Network & Internet, then Mobile Hotspot.

  from field.
  
• Select Edit, enter a new network name and password, then click
  Save.
  
• Turn ON the Share my Internet connection with other devices option.
  

After following the steps above, you may now connect your other devices by going to the Wi-Fi settings on that device, finding and selecting the network name, and entering the password.
